WHAT THE FINANCIAL BILL MEANS.
Secretary Gage Endeavors to Explain thc
Moasuro In a Popular Manner.
WASHINGTON', March 20.-Secre
tary (Jago made thc following state
ment in explanation of the provis
ions of thc financial bill which
passed thc House March the l.'lth:
"It reaffirms that tho unit of value
is tho dollar consisting of twenty
five and eight-tenths grains of gold,
nine-tenths line, but from that point
it goes on to make it tho duty ol' tho
Secretary of thc Treasury to main
tain all forms of money issued or
coined at a parity with this stan
dard. It puts into the hands of tho
Secretary ample power to do that.
For that purpose the bill provides
in the treasury bureaus of issue and
redemption, and it transfers from
the general fund ol' thc treasury's
cash ?160,000,000 in gold coin and
bullion to tho redemption fund, that
gold to be used for thc redemption
of United Slates notes and treasury
notes. That fund is henceforth
absolutely out out and separated
from the cash balance in the treasury,
and the available cash balance will
hereafter show a reduction of ?150,
000,000 from thc figures that have
heretofore prevailed. This ?150,
000,000 redemption fund is to bc
used for no other purpose than the
redemption of United States notes
and treasury notes, and those notes
so redeemed may be exchanged for
? gold on thc general fund or with tho
public, so that tho reserve fund is
kept full of gold to tho $ 150,000,000
limit.
"The Secretary is given further
power. If redemptions reduce the
gobi in tho reserve fund below
?jsl00,000,000, and be is unable to
build it up to the {(100,000,000 mark
by exchange for gold in the general
fund or otherwise, he is given power
to sell bonds, and it is made his duty
to replenish tin' gold to the ?150,
000,1100 mark by such means.
"The 'endless chain' is broken by
a provision which prohibits the use
of notes so redeemed to meet defi
ciencies in thc current, revenues.
The net pi jvides for tho ultimate
retirement of all tho treasury notes
issued in payment for silver bullion
under the Sherman Act. As fast as
that bullion is coined into silver
dollars treasury notes are lo bo
retir ?tl and replaced with an equal
amount of silver certificates.
"The measure authorizes the issue
of gold certificates in exchange for
deposits of gold coin, tho same as at
present, but suspends that authority
whenever and so long as the gold in
the redemption fund is below ?100,
000,000, and gives to the Seer-.an
the option to suspend thc issue of
such certificates whenever the silver
certificates and United States notes
in the general fund of thc treasury
exceed ?60,000,000.
"The bill provides for a larger
issue of silver certificates, by declar
ing that hereafter silver certificates
shall bc issued only in denomina
tions of ten dollars and under, ex
cept as lo 10 per cent of the total
volume. Koom is made for this
larger ?HO of silver certificates in thc
way of small bills. Kurlhcrmoro
national banks are allowed only one
third ol' their capital in denomina
tions under tell dollars.
"One clause of the bill which tho
public will greatly appreciate is tho
right that it gives to the Secretary
to coin any of thc IN?MI bullion 'nw
subsidiary silver coins up to a limit
ol' ?100,000,000. There has for
years been a scarcity of subsidiary
silver during periods of active retail
trade, but this provision will give
thu treasury ample opportunity to
supply nil the subsidiary silver that
is needed.
"A distinct feature is in reference |
lo refund ing the o per cent Spanish
war loan, the 2 per cent bonds ma
turing in 11107 and the ;"> per tent
bonds maturing in 1110-1, a total of
?8.19,000,000 into new 2 per cent
bonds. These 2 per cent bonds will
not be offered for sale, but will only
be issued in exchange foi' nil equal

amount, Face value, of tho old honds.
Tho holders of old hom' - will receive
a premium in cash to compensate
them in a measure for sacrilicc of
interest which they make. Tho
cash premium will be computed on
a basis of the present worth of the
old bonds at 2 A per cent, and will
be on April 1, the date that the new
2 per cent bonds will bear $lU5.G8f>l
for the os, $111.0765 for the ls, and
$110.0751 for each $100 of the ds.
This exchange will save the Govern
ment, after deducting the premium
paid, nearly $23,000,000, if all the
hoblers of the old bonds exchange
them for the new ones. National
banks that take out circulation based
on the new bonds are to be taxed
only one-half of 1 per cent of tho
average amount of circulation out
standing, while those who have a
circulation based on a deposit of old
bonds will be taxed, as at present, 1
per cent. Where heretofore the
minimum capital was $50,000, na
tional banks with $25,000 capital
maj- now organize in places of 3,000
inhabitants or less, lt also permits
banks to issue circulation on all
classes of bonds deposited up lo thc
par value of the bonds, instead of
00 per cent of their face, as hereto
fore. This ought to make an im
mediate increase in national bank
circulation of something like $24,
()0b,000, as the amount of bonds now
deposited to secure circulation is
about $242,000,000. If the pi ico of
the new 2s is not forced so high in t he
market that there is no profit left to
national banks in laking out circula
tion we may also look for a material
increase in national bank circulation
based on additional deposits of
bombs. National banks are permit
ted under the law to issue circula
tion up to au amount equal to their
capital. The total capital of all
national banks is $016,000,000.
"The total circulation outstanding
is $263,000,000. There is therefore
a possibility of an increose in circu
lation of $363,000,000, although the
price of the new 2 per Cont bonds,
as already foreshadowed by market
quotations in advance of their issue
promises to be so high thal the pro
fits lo the banks in laking out cir
culation will not bc enough to make
the increase anything like a possi
ble total."
Comptroller Dawes, when asked
wdtat his course would bo in connec
tion with requests for national bank
charters under the new law, said:
"In view of the huge number of
applications for charters of small
banks I shall institute, special in
quiry, in addition to tho usual exam
ination as authorized hy Section
5,106 of thc Revised Statutes of tho
I'nited States whenever there is the
slightest ground to suspect the ex
istence of improper motives on the
part of those applying for charters
under the national system.
"This course will also lu; followed
in the ease of State banks applying
for leave to convert themselves into
national banks."

Comparative Progress ol Two Races ol Pco
plo-What Each Has Done.
The Dutch settled Capo Colony
nearly twenty years before thc
Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth
Kock and have boon there ever
since. In was in tho tirst year of
the seventeenth century that thc
Dutch Kast Indies company landed
thc Hist party of Dutch farmers in
now what is Cape Colony. So in
this present fateful year the Dutch
are completing tho third century of
their sojourn in South Africa. It
was not, however, till 1051 that they
erected a fort on thc present site of
Cape Town.-Thc Sun.
Wc arc informed and believe upon
tho authority of somo comic publi
cation whose nnmo wc now disro
member that that the following class
room colloquy once took pince bc
wcen a school ma'am and a New
York boy : "When was Philadelphia
founded?" ??In 1082." ?What hap
pened then?" "Nothing."
Tho Dutch have had the run of
South Africa for three hundred
years. Thc visible works of their
genius and their energy arc these:
They have founded two States, the
Transvaal Republic and the Orange
Kroc State. With 1*20,000 square
miics of territory the Transvaal
Republic has a white population of
250,000. It baa a public reven no of
about ^20,000,000, and spends it.
Its people have put only 50,000
acres of its soil under cultivation
less than a tenth of I per cent of
the total area. It does not produce
food enough to support its people.
Its exports, except of gobi, are in
considerable.
Thc Orange Free State has an
area of nearly 50,000 square miles
and a white population of less than
100,000. Thc annual revenue of the
Slate is $2,000,000 and its expendi
tures less. About 200,000 acres of
its soil are under cultivation. Its
total foreign trade, exports and im
ports combined, amounts to a little
over i;l5,000,000 annually.
Men of the English race have had
the run of North America not quito
so long as the Hollanders have had
the run of South Africa. In 1020
some dissatisfied Englishmen settled
in Massachusetts. Other English
men had already settled in Virginia.
In numbers and in cash they were a
feeble folk, but they and their de
scendants and those who came after
them have cleared thc country up a
bit. A republic of about 75,001),
000 people has grown up. These
people do not import much food
stuffs. Sometimes they export 150,
000,000 bushels of wheat in a year
they also have other things to sell,
including manufactures, until other
nations now run up a bill of mort;
than a billion dollars every year for
their goods. They have, tamed a
country of ?5,000,000 square miles,
and they are now. as a favor, taking
oaro of some outlying districts.
Hy they way the Dutch had a
chance to do these things. One of
them discovered tho Nfirth river and
this island. They settled bert! in
New York nome year? before thc
Puritans landed at Plymouth, Mass,
They governed tilts town until the
English look charge of it in 100-1.
Convinced that it was not going to
bc much of a place, the Dutchmen
swapped it for Dutch Ottilien, or
Surinam, do'-n in South America.-?

Thc Farmers and Cotton.
Tho Columbia correspondent of Hie
News and Courier says:
Tho Slate Alliance is to hold its an
nual meeting herc on the second Tues
day in July. When asked if the Alliance
was not practically dead a prominent
member and a lending farmer replied
tersoly: "Not by right smart." This
gentleman was asked about tho pur
chasing of fertilizers by thc farmers this
year. The privilege tax receipts al
ready amount to almost as much as the
whole of last year's receipts, being over
$18,000 greater than at tho samo limo
last year and indicating that tho farmers
are going ahead and using as much for
I tilizer as ever. This gentleman said
that, w hile this seemed to show in cold
ligures that the farmers wore ron! I y buy
ing more fertilizers than usual th.s year,
he did I.ot think that they were. Hr;
thinks it is due to tho fact that the farm
ers aro buying their fertilizers vory
much earlier Mian usual, and cited the
instance of a mill that had sold out its
supply as early as February this year,
whereas it had not sold out last year un
til the (Irstof April. Ile. also noted that
the (armers were not really paying moro
than the li) per cent advance on last
year's price, which they agreed upon in
all their anti trust meetings. In a few
instances, here and there, small farmers
had been caught napping by jobbers,
hut as a general thing the bulk of the
sales have been within thc IO per cent,
advance. Ho wont on to say that thora
would undoubtedly ho a large crop ol'
cotton planted this year and ho thought
thoro was bound to be another season of
good prices, come what may. The South
Carolina crop, however, be does not ex
pect to be as large as the planting would
indicate. Ho says he has never known
a big crop to follow a wet winter, such
as this winter has been.

Farmers Buying Fertilizers.
The Columbia Slate says thal Hie farm
ers of South Carolina don't seem to ho
lighting the fertilizer trust as hard as
their vigorous resolutions not to use
fertilizers this yeal would indica!", lt
has been freely predicted since the price
of cotton jumped up that tho Slate
would tho coining season plant a larger
acreage of the lleecy staple than ever,
mid unless ligaren count for nothing
preparations are being mad for thc
planting of a big crop for next fall' ; mar
koting.
lt has been mentioned thal Hie rail
roads had not Doted any falling oil this
sci. on, hilt tl 0 was no way here lo
ascertain the exact shipments. There
are some ligures available, however,
that are significant. The Stale charges
a tax on each lon of fertilizers shipped
by factories in and out of the State, and
tho tax tags have lo be bought by the
OOllipnilioS mid affixed before thc ship
incuts can bo made. According lo tho
sale of these I Ilga the fanners are either
buying far more fertilizers (his year than
last, or else tho factories have good rea
son to believe thal they will. Last year
tho amount received (rom the fertilizer
tax for the whole year was $00,1vf?l.88.
bast year up to March 12 the state had
received $40,!MW.75 of this total. This
year up to March 12 tho Slate. Trcasnicr
lias receipted for $fiS,775.8o worth of
tags an amount almost as Inrgo as tho
total for last year, and $18,482.10 larger
than las! year's I'ocelpts up to Ibis lime.
THEY WILL MEET IN CONVENTION IN THE
CITY OF CHARLESTON NEXT MONTH.
What tho Organization Has Oono nnd is
Doing-Oconoo Women.
The Charleston News und Courier
of the '.Mst instant says that Mrs. Ida
M. Lining, vice president of the City
Union of Women's Clubs, has issued
the following interesting circular re
garding tho annual convention of
tin1 South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs, that is to be held in
Charleston next month :
Along with Eastertide, its sun
shine and Howers, comes the annual
convention of "tho South Carolina
Federation of Women's Clubs."
Fending that meeting it may bo in
teresting to thc genoral public to
knew something of the history of the
movement and what the clubs are
doing collectively.
If the women of South Carolina
have been somewhat slow in thus
banding themselves for concerted
action, the movement is now fairly
started. The thrill of newly awak
ened life is pulsating from the moun
tains to the seaboard-most truly
from the mountains-for thc first call
came from tho "Onee-a-Week Club"
in the little town of Seneca, dunc If?,
1808. Sixteen clubs were enrolled
at that time ; the number has now
increased to thirty-one. The first
birthday of the Federation was
spent in Chester last .lune-beauti
! ful ('hester-with her charming
[ women and her chivalrous men.
I Next month this old city will be
i honored by the clubs.
The cry for union once sounded,
the echo will never die ; responses
are coming from every quarter of
our State. Women are awakening
to a sense of their individual respon
sibility, and they realize that the
"greatest good to the greatest num
: ber" can only come through unity of
I cause and concerted action, and that

because suffrage has not been granted
them they have nothing to do with
good citizenship and good govern

citizen applies not to the mere voter,
hut to every member of the commu

quietly and earnestly from the social
standpoint; they are alive to the'

I struted when that large railroad cor
; punition, the Southern, gave to OUT
I president, .Mr.s M. W. Coleman, cases
und free transportation to extend tho
work ol' the traveling libraries, which
was organised by Mrs. Coleman, and
which lias boen adoptod as one of
tho co-operative works of the Fede
ration, under tho head of library ex
tension this branch has been given
the foremost placo in our first year's
work-a result of which is the estab
lishment of Bovoral freo libraries by
the efforts of club women-notably
those of Chester, Union and Seneca.
The traveling library is conduotcd
upon the following plan : Canes,
strongly built of oak or some other
hard wood, arc furnished by thc
railroad ; these eases havo a capacity
for about fifty-two octavo volumes,
which are contributed by club wo
men and their friends. The libraries
when col looted are sent under tho
care of an agent to some remote sec
tion, where books are not easily ob
tained, and there remain for the freo
use of the community for thirty or
sixty days; upon request the time
will be extended to ninety days. The
library is then sent to some other
section and another takes its place.
Mrs. Coleman lias exerted great
enterprise and energy to get the sys
tem in good running order and suc
cess is now assured, lt seems pass
ing strange, however, that, while
great corporations recognize thc
benefit of this woman's ciTort to im
prove the youth and womanhood of
our State, through thc refining influ
ence of good books, that individuals
composing thc Legislature of South
Carolina should vote down a small
appropriation, which a larger-hearted
member of that body deemed but a
just acknowledgment of this labor of
love.
Strange, indeed, and still more so,
when wo are told that the opposition
carno from the fanner members.
Surely we are misinformed when it
can be seen at a glance that thc bene
fits of such a work must accrue tc
tho fanning sections.

that there can bc such a thing at

others with regard to her illiteracy
-this work of our women is om
way by which the percentage can bi
reduced. The future will BU roi;
bring more intelligent recognition o
our efforts, therefore we will work 01
and wait.
Village improvement is anothe
work of the clubs, in consequence
many a waste place is made to bios
som as the rose. It is safe to pre
diet that the planting of trees in th
cities, tho cleaning of streets, th
hygienic condition of schools an
other buildings will receive attentior
and we will be able as the ranks ar
filled up to bring about a new cond
tion of things.
Another co-operative work is til
establishing of free kindergartens i
factory comm unities and neglecte

well organized as it might be, a
though there is good work bein
done in the State to a limited e:

llcfore concluding thin article let
tuc say a word of the woman to
whom more than any other is due
tho success of the movement, our
president, Mrs. M. W. Coleman, of
Seneca. By tho rules of our consti
tution she cannot again servo us in
that oapaoity. At. Chester, tn Juno
last year, she was re-elected hy an
overwhelming majority. In retiring
she leaves behind her an enviable
record and scores of friends among
tho Carolina club women. However
fine tho ability of thc next president,
she can never justly be brought into
comparison with her upon whom has
fallen tho pioneer work of the or
ganization. A pathway through the
wilderness of doubt and diflicultics
haB been blazed. Frail, delicately
organized and retiring, she has not
spared herself ; her best energies
have been expended for thc cause,
and her work has buen done with
the true dignity which ever bears
about it a deep sense of individual
responsibility and . doh must always
bring a personal relation to the high
est.
As the years roll on and we num

there the name of thc woman who
